The story is in the telling of it. A major public
transportation overhaul is a "bad story" insofar as the
construction drastically alters a historic neighborhood
but a "good story" insofar as it meets people's current
needs in an environmentally sustainable way. Even
inherently bad news involving illness, violence, and so
on may have its story told with a forward-looking
"Where do we go from here?" The story doesn't pre-
exist in a good or bad format. Much of the
interpretation is created by the writer and then by the
reader.
